Energy efficiency
For the most energy efficient use of your appliance:
Ensure your CoolDrawer™ has adequate ventilation as
recommended in the installation instructions.
Allow good clearances in front of air ducts within the
CoolDrawer™ for maximum cold air distribution.
Cool hot foods down before placing them in the CoolDrawer™.
Do not overfill the CoolDrawer™.
Keep door openings to a minimum.
Select a temperature setting that isn’t too cold.

Many commercially available cleaning products contain
solvents that may attack the plastic components of your
CoolDrawer™ and cause them to crack and may cause rusting
of metal components (antibacterial and citrus cleaners are
especially harsh). It is important to use only warm water
and a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent on any
components inside or outside your CoolDrawer™.

Fruit and vegetable storage
When storing fresh fruits and vegetables, we recommend that
they are stored in either the bin on the top tray or the bin
on the left-hand side of the main tray. Both of these bins are
humidity controlled.
Each bin has a humidity control button that can be adjusted to
care for fruit ( ) and vegetables ( ) depending on what
is stored in the bins.
To change between settings push the adjustment button
located on the left-hand side of the CoolDrawer™.
If possible try to store fruit and vegetables separately. If there
is too much water in the bins, the control can be adjusted to
the setting.
Pantry mode (12°C)
This is the ideal setting for a wide variety of foods that often
perish quickly at room temperature but canbe damaged by
normal refrigerator temperatures.
The ‘pantry’ mode is designed specifically for foods that
require a ‘cool, dark place’ for storage.
